The sets are recommended for children ages 8 and up. Listing age labels vary slightly (showing both “8 Years and Up” and “9 Years and Up”), but all sets target roughly the 8–9+ age range.

Across the listings you’ll find Gru and family members (Lucy, Margo, Edith, Agnes and Baby) plus multiple buildable Minions. Named Minions referenced in the details include Mel, Jerry, Tim, Kevin, Dave and a Beedoo Minion; exact character inclusions vary by set.

The large Gru figure is poseable with jointed arms, hands and fingers. Minions have movable heads and changeable eyes, can move their hands to hold accessories, and several sit on a removable rotating platform so they can be shown spinning for display or removed for separate posing.
